Big Island Hawaii Hotel Overlooking Volcano Reopens

If you like your vacations hot, then you'll be pleased to hear that the historic Volcano House hotel in Hawaii has reopened this year. The opening is staggered, with bookings available at various times via website, with goodies to be offered first.

Shuttered since New Year’s Day 2010, Hawaii Volcanoes National Park’s iconic Volcano House, which overlooks Kilauea caldera and erupting Halemaumau crater will begin its gradual reopening this weekend. Starting on Sat., Aug. 18, visitors may purchase a limited selection of food, drink and retail items from Volcano House, which will be open daily from 7:45 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. Also, all 10 A-frame cabins at nearby Namakanipaio Campground are slated to reopen by way of a staggered schedule.
